This project was implemented in 2022 on the eve of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Only some details and decor remained to be added, the clients were already planning a house-warming party, but the war destroyed the long-awaited holiday of the young family. However, despite the difficult circumstances, this strong, beautiful and indomitable family is living on, sincerely and gratefully enjoying every day and inspiring others to work and fight for their dreams and a happy future at home in Ukraine.
The clients wished the interior would create the feeling of a comfortable private house, natural and environmentally friendly, but with a touch of a modern vision. They were reluctant to live outside the city, because they appreciate its comfortable infrastructure and love urban energy and rhythm. However, they were eager to create a warm home that would reflect natural emotions and feelings. Therefore, we chose the Earth-hues colour palette and designed the interior using the tactile aesthetics of clay, stone, timber and grass fields. The space is complemented by the notes of ethnic Ukrainian art from the talented artist Tasha Oro.
A mandatory item in the ToR was a soundproof office, because the owner of the apartment is a professional presenter who works with sound and often hosts online programs. 'Therefore, we used soft panels with sound-absorbing filling and special curtains with noise-insulating lining,' says Julia Baydyk,the author of the project and the founder of the Alta Idea studio. 'In a narrow corridor, squeezed between the supporting columns and walls, we have installed darkened bronze mirrors illuminated along their entire rim. These techniques have helped to create a pleasant feeling of free space.'
